I was a bit overwhelmed by the genre selector options too - too much choice, but I can see that growing on me. I also thought the A-Z label and artist A-Z was an odd addition and clutters up the home page. The old predictive search option pulled them up easier and quicker.

Yes, the 7 day view was greyed out, the downloads only option was also absent, the cover art wasn't loading - although that seems to be resolved, and the site also blocked my VPN protected computer after a bit. Apart from that the site looks and works great 😅
